UKG in Korea: UPBIT Ya’ll!

Earlier this week, Unikrn announced our listing on Bittrex. Today, UnikoinGold is forging forward with an UPbit listing. UPbit is the largest exchange in South Korea, among the top four exchanges in the world, and works with Bittrex and Kakaotalk.

UPbit has the potential for direct links to traditional banking systems in Korea, and will help create additional liquidity and ease-of-use for our users and enthusiasts. They also have some of the best compliance and security systems, making them a perfect exchange for Unikrn customers to acquire UKG.

Esports in South Korea is beyond huge. The South Korean esports market is arguably the birthplace of what we’d consider modern esports, and it is the sixth largest gaming market in the world with 25.6 million players in 2017. League of Legends is particularly huge, as is Starcraft, and esports athletes have long been treated with the same reverence as traditional celebrities.

A large portion of our traffic is from Korea, so Korean access to UnikoinGold, UnikoinSilver, and the Unikrn platform is a priority. Our fans are global, and so we must be global as well.

Our quest for strong, proper, well-vetted exchanges is not over, but our focus will continue to be our users and product. UnikoinGold is about to become the fuel behind the largest revolution in gaming and esports since the impact of gaming PCs began pulling casual gamers out of living rooms and into stadiums.

That said, exchanges are not Unikrn’s focus: our focus is, and always has been, our users and the platform they love.

With UKG’s progress into exchanges, we’re continuing our focus on our platform. The only tokens we distribute now are not for purchase, but for earning. Our focus is a strong product. We’ll continue to improve utility and features and let our users suggest new ideas for UKG.

There was a short period after our sale where users wanted UnikoinGold and had trouble getting it. That is past, and it was caused by careful research and due diligence by responsible exchanges working with us, an established company.

This week, UnikoinGold has done more than aggressively expanded access in Asia with its opening on OKex and UPbit. Our listing on CoinHub was delayed due to volume implementation issues, but it has now gone through, and we opened the new year with Bittrex.

Access and liquidity are demonstrable, and as our platform and usership grows, so will partners’ interest in accessing this too-long ignored demographic. Non endemic brands such as BMW, Nestle, FedEx, Burger King are all examples of companies that began pushing their way into esports and gaming over the last year.

We’re the face of video game tournaments at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. We’re the heart of the most popular CS:GO team in Germany. UnikoinGold is now becoming the hands of esports and gaming in the crypto world, and we’ve made throughlines across Asia, in Europe and North America with some of the world’s largest exchanges.

We launched UKG with platform functionality, and the Unikrn team is working hard to bring you more ways to engage with esports and the world of gaming. Look forward to expansions in both our betting and non-betting experiences, partnerships and a continually improved platform.

In short, UnikoinGold is poised to be the single most central decentralized token in this shift to esports and gaming culture.

Details on our first January MGM tournament will be coming out soon, with public events coming in February. In addition, our CS:GO team BIG is preparing to face down their return to the majors, so wish them luck. Our New Year’s celebrations are coming to a close as well, so don’t miss your chance to win awesome prizes from Hoerluchs, BIG, Lioncast, noblechairs,in-game skins and currently over 500 UKG across over a dozen bonus pools.

I’ve said Happy New Year too many times to say it again, so I’ll just say: look out, UnikoinGold is coming. We’ll be at CES with Maingear, one of our partner companies — we’re hosting a private “Gaming After Dark” event at the Unikrn House in Las Vegas that week. If you feel you need to meet with us at CES, find me on Twitter and let me know why — space is limited, but if I can make it happen, I most certainly will

Almost every project that hit bittrex is a  great long-term investment for me! So i decide to join the family , i will also play some game online and see

Thank you! and please stay tuned for all upcoming announcements and exciting upcoming features.

Good job, Unikoin Gold team! Keep delivering and good luck in 2018!

UnikoinGold Continues Expansion with OKex Listing



UnikoinGold will be listed on OKex today with trading expected to begin on January 4, 2018, meaning esports fans, gamers and content creators in Asia rejoice.
OKex is a global crypto exchange leader with an especially strong presence in Asia, signifying the continued widening of UKG's reach to fans and users worldwide. We understand that because esports are a global phenomenon, so is demand for the decentralized token for esports and gaming. We're continuing to work to provide access to UnikoinGold and our unique Unikrn platform and gaming experiences worldwide.

You can connekt, you can jackpot and you can bet with UKS just about anywhere in the world. UnikoinGold brings even more to these and more experiences, and has much more on the horizon.

“Esports and video games have completely blown up, and our customers are now using their Unikoins in over 100 countries worldwide,” said Rahul Sood, CEO, Unikrn. “Across Asia, Europe and North America, interested users now have the best options available in their regions to access UnikoinGold. Our team takes pride in working alongside exchanges we’ve vetted, and OKex is clearly among the best in the world.”

UnikoinGold recently closed its historic crowdsale with over 112,000 ETH collected, making it the largest token sale in esports and gaming history.

Welcome to 2018, year of UnikoinGold.

BOOM! UnikoinGold now available widely across Asia via OKex!



UnikoinGold on OKEX
The end of the year is typically a slow period in esports. RLCS, LCS, OWL are pre-season while CS:GO and Dota 2 are preparing for upcoming January majors. Something I take pride in about our company: when the games slow down, we speed up.

While the world is taking time looking back at last year, we’re taking time to behalf of the year to come. Just last week we were officially added to Bittrex, one of the world’s top exchanges. Today, I’m happy to announce that our fans in Asia will be getting a similar treatment with UKG’s addition to OKex, one of the biggest exchanges in Asia.

I’ve said it for months, but it is always worth repeating: this process has become more difficult as pump-and-dump cryptocurrency and scam ICOs flooded the market last year. The good news is people are getting much smarter, and the industry is getting more mature. Credible exchanges are starting to self regulate and will only bring on tokens with real customers and usage.

Unikrn fans are always looking for new ways to acquire and earn UnikoinGold so it’s our duty to make sure we work with exchanges that have safe and secure experiences. We need to vet, and be vetted. We need to reach consensus on capacity, and give exchanges time to prepare for volume and security.

The UnikoinGold team is working tirelessly, putting this together over nights, mornings, weekends and holidays since the token sale. I personally want to thank them all for that effort to make sure almost anybody who wants access to the UnikoinGold platform is able to do so.

You can’t build a great company overnight. Time is part of the process, and the fact that we’re taking the time to build Unikrn diligently is, to us, a badge of honor.

Of course, we are an esports company and we created UnikoinGold to be an esports and gaming token. In the last month, we’ve also announced landscape-altering partnerships with MGM Resorts and Playwire Media. We’re working on gamification and a European rollout, real-time betting, skill-based betting and tons more.

Just this week, we’ve announced a throng of HUGE jackpots that you can enter to win with UnikoinGold: Lioncast gear, signed mousepads, noblechairs’ ICON, Hoerluch’s Earphones, plus big-ticket in-game skins for your favorite games. Throughout the end of December, fans were earning double UKG for playing League of Legends, CS:GO and Dota 2, and now it’s time to use those bounties to win big.

And our CS:GO team, BIG, is preparing to defend their legends status at the ELEAGUE Boston Major, which we are all dying to watch in our offices (except our content teams, who will be right there, bringing fans the best original coverage of Boston in the world).

In short, as always, there’s a lot going on at Unikrn. It’s going to be a grand 2018.

Tell your friends in China they can play with the Unikrn platform by earning and redeeming both UnikoinGold and UnikoinSilver today!

Happy New Year to you all!

One more project with egames, hope it will be nice. Good luck.

Awesome news! I feel the price 7-12$ for this coin will be the floor soon anyway this project rocks! my 5 btc pending to bittrex for this GOLD :3

OKEx's announcement regarding listing and trading going live for UnikoinGold

We will be issuing a news release as to why we chose OKEx, aside from it being the #5 exchange in the world and that being very helpful in providing the global availability of the token!

Interesting project, seems to be garnering a lot of attention on social media.

Backed by Mark Cuban is impressive to boot, and he did appear as planned on CNBC about the project.

Just looked at Bittrex, major price suppression; huge sell wall placed near the strike price... Lots of accumulating and position building going on based on the charts... been trending sideways and it was one of the few coins to stay positive and in the green during todays marketwide altcoin correction which dropped nearly all altcoins 20%

IMO $UKG is a long term 2018 Hold.

Cheers!

What kind of information are you looking for?

It would be nice if you put more information about the project, good luck with your project.

"Tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM PST I'll be on @CNBC @SquawkAlley talking tech.  Good way to bring in the New Year!

We created a token sale for people to support a project they believe in or are interested in.
That token sale allowed the token to exist and have value.
That does not change the purpose or use of the token as a utility token for use with Unikrn and Unikrn partners.
It is not an investment as you do not get shares, rights or parts of the company for token purchase.
Are you saying every organization that raises capital is an investment? If you're saying that then I suggest you stay away from tokensales, Indiegogo, Patreon and Kickstarter and other fund raisers. As you will be disappointed in the reality.

Why would you do a crowdsale then? You could have launched the token based activities as and when the system and infrastructure was ready? You raised monies via crowdsale with a view to raise capital and you say that you DONT consider the UKG tokens as investments? Kinda seem hypocritical to me.

We do not consider UnikoinGold an investment, however when we release our Q1 milestones we will be looking to market usage of these new services to use UKG on. Q1 includes skill-based buy-in tournaments, Connekt expansion and ladder competitions and UKG betting on esports matches in jurisdictions where we are licensed to offer it legally.

Very thin volumes on BITTREX. Unreal for a project like this. Could this be only down to 31st or there is a fundamental lack of interest in investing in UNIKOIN GOLD?

We would like the price to be stable by having a healthy and worthwhile token ecosystem where its utility is represented and have it be the primary driver of demand.
We are not looking to release tokens just to sustain a certain price.

By improving the overall utility and possibilities through:
- Adding more services and features, improving the existing ones
- Partnerring with more service providers
- Expanding the overall markets in which UnikoinGold is to be used
Will aid in growing a sustainable ecosystem where we attract more tokenholders and usage rather than speculators that look to ONLY pump up the price which would cause fluctuations that would negatively affect the user experience.

Thanks. Current price is 0.00087749 ETH, way below ICO price. What I understand is that Unikoin team do not want the value of the token to rise abruptly given its utility nature. However, can the team really manage and maintain a price stability by market intervention on exchanges like Bittrex?

Bonus earnings (through Connekt) are non-withdrawable until they are used (bet/consumed) on the platform.
Currently that means you will have to participate in jackpots and win one with a bonus pool to gain UKG, but in the future other services will become available to you that will enable you to gain withdrawable UKG another way. Buy-in Tournaments and UKG betting are coming to certain jurisdictions where we are legally allowed to offer these services.


The tokensale price per token ended up being: 0.001154734411 ETH per UKG


That's what we are gunning for! We found that a lot of gamers were already familiar with cryptocurrency on various levels and have also seen that, indeed, they are tech-savvy enough to quickly learn and adopt blockchain technology and use tokens. Let us know if you have any feedback or ideas! We have plenty of new services and features in development but are always looking for more.
